the words islamic terrorism. you don t see strong prescriptions coming from either the democratic or the republican candidates? well, i think there are some coming from maybe the lower-polling candidates within the field. jeb bush has been talking strongly about this, a little bit from marco rubio and some of the others, but the leading candidates, you know, donald trump and ben carson, really aren t inspiring much confidence. ben carson s answer in that fox business debate about syria was rambling and incoherent and didn t make a lot of sense. and donald trump is mainly taking to twitter to say, you know, i told you so. we should have bombed their oilfields, and that s what frantz is doing. jackie s right, there s really no actually playing of what any of these candidates would do going forward other than donald trump s plan to bomb the stuff out of them. [laughter] i think there needs to be more detail to this and, of course, this is all happening very fast and developing. but the
french and belgian nationals, for example. and then there s the question of the syria and iraq conflicts. and while, look, i don t think we can be goaded into action by terrorists, i don t think we should be deterred from acting by terrorists, i do think this should be a moment where we look to determine if we re really doing what we need to do. jenna: what do you think of the reasoning from the president that an individual that s willing to give up his own life, a suicide bomber, for example, is someone that cannot have an equivalent in the west? because we certainly don t have people that are doing the very same thing to communities in the middle east, for example. what do you think of that reasoning that this, this persona of this terrorist who s willing to give up his own life for his jihad is somehow something we can t overcome? i don t think it s right that we can t overcome it. i mean, i think you ll never have 100% security, total assurance that you won t have,
martinez, rejected the program until there is a system to vet potential immigrants. the governor of new hampshire is also running for senate. and on the other side of the issue, democrats hillary clinton and bernie sanders welcome the syrian refugees. vermont governor peter shut is another governor supporting the immigrants. i think when you have folks who are drown canning, who are dying drowning, who are dying in the pursuit of freedom, that vermont does its part. reporter: in the last four years, about 1900 syrian refugees have settled in the united states. jenna: david lee, thank you. jon: the body of a young teacher found with her throat cut, now a teenager is on trial for her murder and today colleen richards mother will take the stand and come face to face with
in terms of and getting very little media coverage was the fact that in the last two days prior to the paris attacks two top al-qaeda leaders, i should say isis leaders were killed, jihadi john and there was another isis leader killed in syria. see, that s the point in libya, by the way. it s pinpricks. we were announcing jihadi john, we used two hellfire missiles to kill one guy. we were in raqqa, and we turned around and we left. also not covered was the beirut bombing the day before which killed 40 people, wounded scores of others. and this was the media didn t have interest in that, interestingly enough. it took paris. now look, this is we can argue about whether or not there should be military and boots on the ground, but i think people are realizing that it shouldn t be anymore civilians who are on the front line being slaughtered. our military s
the ski areas of vail and breckenridge, they got up to 8 inches, so good start to this ski season. jenna: we ll take a silver lining, especially on a day like today. thank you. jon: happy to hear it. well, the paris attacks seem to have sparked a change in media coverage concerning president obama s isis strategy. it was very evident during the president s news conference yesterday. take a listen. this is an organization that you once described as a jv team that evolved into a force that has now occupied territory in iraq and syria and is now able to use that safe haven to launch attacks in other parts of the world. how is, how is that not underestimating their capabilities, and how is that contained, quite frankly? and i think a lot of americans have this frustration that they see that the united states has the greatest military in the world, it has the backing of nearly every other country in the world when it comes to taking on isis. i guess the question is, and if you ll forgive
